Eating Posted: 08-25-03 16:55pm
That is the worst way to handle your
weight gain. That is extremely unhealthy,
and will only slow your metaboism down in
the long run. Not to mention the dangers
of developing an eating disorder that very
easily can spin out of control (i had one
for 5 years). If you havent changed your
diet, maybe it has something to do with
your thyroid. Talk to your doctor.

I agree with java. That is just plain
stupid. That's called anorexia.
Millions die from that each year.
...I am a binge eater...I gain about one
pound per day.....Then go a few not eating
much...Then binge for a few days and gaing
it back.........I have gained about 50 lbs
in the past few months....

Dont do this! Youre killing yourself
if you want to lose weight then do it
sensibly! Ie: healthy eating, excercise
etc.
Go talk to a doctor, dietician.
You dont know what youre getting yourself
into..... Its so hard to get out of

I agree that starving yourself is not the
best way to lose weight because if you do
get to the weight you wont and eat
anything it will all turn to fat and you
gain more weight then you lost. Plus if
you start it is hard to stop.

If you want to lose weight (that includes
those of you who are binge eating etc) try
walking (gentle walk only)for about 30 to
60 minutes first thing in the morning, if
you can get it (it's banned in australia,
but most things are!!) get dhea (my dr has
special government approval to import it
for his patients) this helps lots of
things (go to a search engine & type
in dhea & see for yourself) including
losing weight gradually but he also
insists on the walk & on a reasonable
diet, he lost 30kgs in a few months
himself doing this & with very little
change to his diet.
But if you have an image
problem/stress/control issues or similar
you also need to address these if you want
long term change in which case you might
try a supplement called 5htp (look up
tryptophan on a search engine).

From a Recovering Ana to One Flirting With the Decision.... Posted: 01-05-04 15:25pm
Always_late,
listen to me! I am a recovering ana. It
is soooo much harder to stop one of these
addictions then it is to start one! I
starved myself for 3 years and my low
point was at 5’5” 93lbs when I finally
realized that I needed help. That
starving myself and restricting what I ate
only made problems worse! Here I am about
a year and a half later, and though I want
to eat, and I try and I am “well” I still
have problems, you never recover from
these diseases. They always stay in your
mind! Girl, I am begging you, try another
diet! Something healthy with a healthy
balance of exercise! Eating disorders are
nothing to be messed with! They distort
your mind and body and the aftermath isn’t
worth the pain and expense you, your body,
your mind and your loved ones have to go
through!

Alwayslate,
please don't do this to yourself, it's not
worth it....I've just recently quit
denying it and admitted that I suffer from
ana....I was in denial for 2 years but
can't do it anymore...My body is so
depleted of the nutrients and vitamins
that I need to live and thrive..Right now
i'm 5'4 103lbs, that's not healthy! You
should really go talk to someone who knows
how you feel and can help you go about
this the right way...I also just found out
a couple weeks ago that i'm pregnant, and
am scared to death as to what this disease
will do to my baby. Starving yourself
isn't the way to lose the weight, do it by
exercising, walk around your local mall or
shopping area...Eat fruits and
veggies...It's not how much you put in
your mouth, it's what you're putting in
your mouth that matters...I wish I would
have seen the consequences to being victim
to this monster before I started...I cant
stop and now need professional help....I
just went to a specialist yesterday and
she told me all about ana....Did you know
that you can fall victim to sudden death?
Just up and die because of not eating?
Well you can....Is that what you want?
Please, take it from someone who is there
right now, not eating isn't the way to do
this, you're just opening up a whole new
ball game of problems, some of which will
never go away. Not only do you suffer,
but the people who love you suffer also.

Very bad idea.. I am recovering from ana
and mia as we speak and I am pregnant..
Been recovering for 1 1/2 months now. .
.
But not eating until u lose weight is
definitly not going to give u the results
u want. . I used to try that too. Want
to know what it does? Every time u deny
yourself and restrict. .Your metabolism
will slow down.. That means u will end up
gaining weight 10x easier then if u just
eat a healthy amount. The only way to
lose weight and keep it off and not have
to worry about gaining is to eat enough.
I mean no lower then 1,500 cals a day.
Period. I know u mite not listen, hell, I
never listened when I was deep in my e/d
and everyone told me that, but now I wish
I wouldve. But everyday u keep this up.
.Your metabolism will slow and slow..And
then u could gain weight on eating next to
nothing!
you have to do a healthy diet it you dont
wont to
